Armando Movers Ltd

I have used Armando Movers twice in the past. The price of the move was on par with other quotes I received from other movers. On both occasions, the workers were on time and I had no problems with the moving of my belongings. I will definitely use Armando Movers again and I highly recommend them.

They arrived early and got started right away. Tony and crew (3 guys total) never stopped moving - they didn't even take a lunch break!
What I thought was going to be a one truck load job ended up being 2 trucks and 12 hours! Wow I had a lot of stuff. They were very polite and careful with the items. A few pieces got a little dinged up which is to be expected, but for the most part I was very satisfied with the move. Oh and ask to get the clothing boxes so you can take your stuff right out of one closet and into the other without removing hangers! My sister in law is moving in a few months and she will also be using them.

armando movers moved me some time ago there was 3 guys who moved me but i noticed that one of them was not working jus on the truck smoking .....i said let me watch him for a while he continued not to be doing anything could u imagine im paying 90 dollars an hour for this ...even the guys working with him were complaining if i can remember his name is elder this guy is too old to be doing this job....then made it worst when it came for lunch time he told me its lunch time .....lunch time im saying is this guy crazy i didnt mind the two other guys eating but him no way and to top it off he was drinking wine why i know cause when he ask me a question i smelled it and it was strong how does armando allow this ...listen to this when the job was done he walks up to me and says i did a good job for u is this guy kidding the other two guys did a good job i must admit ...what made me feel bad is that i was going to give these guys a tip of 75 dollars each but i could not get the two helpers alone ....the old man seems as thou he is watching everything.... ithink armando allows this guy elder to work because he slows down the job .....i think armando owes me one hour and a half......... armando he makes ur bussiness look bad its time u let him go its not fair to ur co workers .............or maybe u dont care cause u thinking jus about the money

While the men who moved my furniture did a good job in moving the furniture, they were not at all up front about the price that they would charge to do so. They were already in Markham (having moved furniture for my brother) when we asked if they would move some furniture from his house to the garage of my house (20 min. away). They told us the price would by 90.00/hr. and we agreed. The job took approximately 1 to 1.5 hours and I was expecting to pay 90.00 to 135.00, plus HST. When they presented me with a bill, it was for double that (270.00 plus HST). They then informed me that I was paying for their travel time from Toronto to Markham. They never had mentioned that there was a minimum charge when we originally asked them to move the furniture. When I pointed out the obvious and stated that they had already been paid by my brother for the travel portion of their job and that they were not starting in Toronto, but Markham, they seemed to think that their charge was in accordance to completely normal practice and that I was the one who was unreasonable. They then phoned Armando, to ask for his input, but he was not in the office and on his way home(although I later got the impression that his office is in his home) . When I did finally get in touch with Armando, he made me feel as if I were completely in the wrong, and that they had done everything correctly. He told me what I should do "next time" (as if), but completely failed to take any responsibility for the current situation or doing anything meaningful to remedy it. He also said that our bills should have been combined, in order to save on the travelling time, but this option was never presented to us when we first talked to the movers. When I asked Armando if he could combine the bills after the fact, he stated that it was too late, although when I asked, he never gave a reason as to why it was too late . Finally, he did refund us 50.00 (not nearly what I think is owed to me) - basically to make me go away. I cannot state forcefully enough, that I feel that I was completely scammed by Armando and his employees. Moreover, he did not take any responsibility for the current situation - he placed all the blame on myself. He and his employees were not up front about what the charges would be - I had no way of making an informed decision as to whether I wanted to pay what the final amount would be. Stating that the charges are 90.00/hour might be fine if the job is to take more than three hours, but they knew that it would not take nearly that long and they did not inform me that there was a minimum charge (nor do I see it on their web site). The minimum charge is 3 hours.

My family and I have used Armando Movers for decades now and we are all very happy with them.

They've always been on time and done a great job.

Armando Movers relocated some furniture from our main level to the basement to make room for renovations. They arrived on time, were friendly, and efficient.

When they returned to move our furniture back 4 weeks later, they couldn't find screws that they had removed from our dining table legs and were going to leave without putting it back together. We refused to pay them until they found the screws and put the dining table back together. This took them an additional 30 mins for which they tried billing us.

Other friends who have used Armando Movers have had a better experience.
